Dr. Mollick began his post-graduate medical training in internal medicine at Winthrop University Hospital in 1999.

Dr. Mollick has a keen interest in the surgical treatment for all types of skin cancers. As a Fellowship trained Mohs surgeon, he is proficient in the surgical treatment of skin cancer acting as surgeon, pathologist and reconstructive surgeon. With the Mohs technique, the skin cancer is removed with precise histologic control to confirm complete removal. The defect can then be repaired with the confidence that the tumor is fully removed and Dr. Mollick then functions as reconstructive surgeon.
